Sunny Days, Moonlit Nights
by Jean Joachim, Stephanie Taylor, Jane Paxon, Elaina Lee
 
"Caroline Davis White is a well-known artist and married to a wealthy, controlling man. She has everything money could buy except one thing: Love. Brad refuses to give her a divorce she so desperately wants. With no money, family, or friends, she flees to the Catskill Mountains where she spent her summers as a young adult.

Mike Foster has achieved success and made more money than he could have thought possible, but it destroyed his marriage and cost him his son. He is wary of every woman he meets, knowing his money may be more attractive than his good looks.

Caroline reconnects with the life she had and friends from long ago. Mike stepped out of her teenage dreams into her life again, looking more handsome and tempting than ever. Caroline knew Mike back then, but is he still the man she fell in love with?"
 
This was a quick read that I finished in a day. :) There were times that I did not care for the main character and the things she did. It was not that bad. *3* stars
I like to read story about artist.

	This was a pretty good book. There were times when I questioned if it was a clean read but I am very happy that it was. *4* Stars

Maya's Vacation

Maya's Vacation

byRebecca Gomez Farrell

"Twenty-year-old Maya knew as she watched Dean walk away from her front door distraught at her silence and her father's threats, that she would never love anyone with the intensity that she loved him. He was her painter, her artist, her soulmate and being apart from him hurt too much. She tucked those feelings away, determined to enjoy the safe and secure life her parents approved of: business school and a marriage to Chuck, a successful real estate agent.

Thirty years later, Chuck has cheated on and divorced her. But when he comes back, begging for reconciliation, Maya takes a vacation to think it over. Her love of art, food, and wine combine at this retreat in the woods, and she prepares for a week of making new friends, tasting exquisite wines, and learning to paint again. What she hasn't prepared for is the familiar voice she hears the first morning at camp...a voice that makes her skin tingle and brings back memories of who she was before Chuck. Has Maya buried her passion too deep to find love with Dean again?"

 

	Maya's Vacation was a very short read. While I was reading I wished that I could go on a vacation like this one, they painted and ate the whole time.:) *3* Stars

Change of Heart

byFran Shaff

1850s Nebraska: Marietta Randolf travels from Chicago to Nebraska to collect her orphaned nephew Zack. When a snow storm delays her return trip, she finds herself stranded in an unappealing land with a very appealing rancher, Jase Kent.

Called Home: Two Hearts Answer

Called Home: Two Hearts Answer

by Gloria Schumann

"Emma Benson's view of life was crafted by the death of her brother as a child, abandonment by her father and later, the man she trusted she would marry, until David Schlosser-back in town after years in New York writing best-selling novels-threatens her neatly tended life. Romance blooms. Emma and David eventually persevere in the face of tragedy, refusing to leave their dreams behind."

 

 

	It was a good story. It didn't take me long to finish. There was times in the book were I didn't like the main character that much, but I got use to her. I liked that it was a mystery. I loved that it was clean!!   I give it 4 stars.

 

 

 

 

A Very Merry Chase    

 by Teresa Thomas Bohannon   

      "Set in early 19th century Regency England, and harking back in style to the heyday of Georgette Heyer and Barbara Cartland, A Very Merry Chase is a comedy of manners and errors that boasts empire fashions, dashing characters, verbal sparring matches and witty repartee mingled with just a hint of mystery, danger and intrigue."

I don't know what it is but I love stories with highwaymen in it. I was so excited when I saw this book. It was a good and clean story, but I really did not care for the main charector. She reminded me a little of Scarlett from Gone With the Wind and I don't like her either. I give this book *3 1/2 * stars.
